She casually thumbs through a newspaper. Jamie enters the room and takes a seat at the table. Kelly looks up. Hey. What are you up to? KELLY Just taking a break from packing. Jamie grabs a part of the news paper and skims through it. Kelly takes a long drag of her cigarette.

2. KELLY I talked to your father this morning. Jamie looks up from the paper, interested. Kelly laughs. Really? How s his new job working out for him? KELLY He got fired. What! What d he do?

A green car pulls into the driveway next to a beat up, rusted out, brown station wagon. WILSON (18)exits the drivers side of the car and slowly approaches the eerie house. She stops at the front door and knocks. No response. Jamie slowly opens the door and creeps inside, carefully closing the door behind her.

3. INT. S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS Jamie stands amongst a large amount of clutter. The only source of light comes from the sun that peeks through the disheveled curtains hanging on the window. Hello? Jamie steps into the middle of the room. Something moves in the dark. MAN (O.S.) Jamie, is that you? WILSON (40) steps out of the shadows and approaches Jamie, smiling brightly. Boy, am I glad to see you. Charlie goes to hug Jamie, but she steps back. Charlie looks at her in wonder. What s wrong? Mom told me that you lost your job. Charlie turns away from Jamie and sits in an old leather recliner. He shakes his head, laughing. Jamie steps closer. Oh she did, did she? And she also told me that you re losing your house! Charlie leans forward in his chair and looks into Jamie s eyes. And what? You came here to lecture me? Actually, I came by to tell you that you re losing me as well.

4. Charlie breaks eye contact, and reaches into his shirt pocket to retrieve a cigarette. He lights it up and takes a long drag. Charlie smirks. You say that now, but in a month-- In a month I ll be gone. Where to this time? Jamie folds her arms across her chest. Charlie laughs. To Washington...with John. That fucking loser? You re as stupid as your mother! Jamie sighs in frustration. Do you have anything else to say? The room grows silent for a few seconds. Yeah. Charlie stands up and steps in front of Jamie. He blows smoke into her face. Get out of my house. Jamie breathes heavily through her nose and clenches her teeth in an effort to hold back tears. Fuck you. Jamie storms out, slamming the door behind her. Charlie stands in a small cloud of his own cigarette smoke. He smiles.

A BARTENDER (37) steps in front of Charlie, but he doesn t acknowledge him. BARTENDER Go home Charlie. You look like hell.

Craig rushes to Jamie s side. CRAIG What the fuck man? A look of regret and worry flashes over Charlie s face. Jamie, I...I didn t-- Go. I m sorry. John rubs his face as he stands on his own.

John is snoring.

20. Jamie jumps up at the sound of footsteps coming from outside the bedroom. She quickly gets out of bed and feels for the light switch. She finds it and flips it, but the lights remain off.

Stop exaggerating you big soft shit. I hardly touched you. (Mock serious ) Hardly touched you? Hardly touched you? How about I hardly touch you? With that Mick chases Judith around the van grabbing and tickling her whenever he gets the opportunity. Finally Judith, trying to control her laughter, collapses onto one of the seats in the living room area.

The place looks like it hasn t been lived in for years. The most we ll find in there is probably a couple of bats. I m not sure we should. Well we can decide later.

41. EXT. FARM HOUSE - DAY They turn a corner next to a familiar brick wall. They look up fully expecting to see a farm house. The building is GONE. You sure we came the right way? I think so? I mean we passed here by road last time but I m sure it was in this general direction. Perhaps we should find the road and follow that instead. Judith walks away from the group. Her eyes follow the wall until they come to a GATE No. Judith turns. Excuse me? This is the place. Look there s the gate. It can t be the place. I m telling you it is. Look. Look close. How can it be Jude. Houses don t just vanish overnight. (angry) Well I don t know how do I? I just know that this is where we passed. (beat ) Where I came last night.

42. Well there s no use hanging around here. Lets head back to the van and work out what we re going to do from there. What we re going to do? I tell you what we re going to do. Judith storms over to Mick. She reaches into his pocket and grabs the pendant. You re going to give me this back and then we re going to get on with our vacation. She storms away from the other three, back the way they came from. The others just look at each other and shake their heads in disbelief. Come on we better get after her. EXT. CAMP SITE - DAY Judith walks toward the Camper Van. She OPENS the door and enters. INT. CAMPER VAN MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT Judith and Mick are both asleep on the bed. Close on the bed side clock reveals the time to be 5:15 am A sound of a branch SNAPPING can be heard off screen. Judith wakes up. She turns to Mick and sees that he is still asleep. Sighing she gets out of bed and exits the bedroom.

43. INT. CAMPER VAN - CONTINUOUS Judith opens the main door of the Camper Van and looks out at the night. Hello? EXT. CAMP SITE - NIGHT KILLER P.O.V. Looking at her through the trees that surround the camp site Judith steps out of the Camper Van. Is there somebody here? We zoom forward at an extremely high speed straight toward Judith. Just before we collide with her we CUT TO: INT. CAMPER VAN - MORNING NORMAL P.O.V Kieran and Lisa are sat at the table eating their breakfast. Mick enters from his bedroom. He looks confused, as if he has lost something. Is she not here? Is who not here? Judith of course. Mick and Lisa turn and look at each other. They look just as confused as Mick. We thought she was still in bed with you. No. I woke up and she was gone. (beat) (MORE)

44. (cont d) She might be outside. Probably. It looks like a nice day out there so she might have got up early and went for another walk. Lisa stands and walks over to the small pantry next to the sink. She opens it and takes out a box of cereal which she then places on the counter worktop. Why not have some breakfast and then we ll go look for her. Mick looks looks at the bowl before heading for the DOOR. No. I m going to look for her now. He opens the door and exits. EXT. CAMP SITE - MORNING Mick is walking away from the Camper Van. He heads in the direction of the farm house. Kieran and Lisa run up behind him. Wait a minute. What do you want? Nothing. We re coming with you. Mick smiles and the three walk away together. KILLER P.O.V As they walk away they fail to notice an object underneath the Camper Van. Closer on the object reveals it to be a dismembered female hand wearing a small gold wedding ring.

45. EXT. FARM HOUSE - DAY NORMAL P.O.V Mick, Kieran and Lisa are once again stood at a gate that should have lead to a farm house. But still it is missing. I don t get this. Get what? Look around us. They all do just that. Judith was right, this is the same place. Well it can t be. If it was there would be a house right there. Kieran points to the empty space that was once occupied by the farm house. Mick sighs then begins to walk away. (to Mick) Now where? I m going to town. See if she s there. Saying nothing more Kieran and Lisa follow after him EXT. STREET - DAY The three are walking down a quiet street. There are shops of varying sorts on both side of the street. One particular building catches their attention. It is a small pub. You never know she might have went in there for a drink.

46. KILLER P.O.V Worth a try I suppose. The three friends enter the pub. INT. PUB, MAIN ROOM - DAY NORMAL P.O.V The room looks like a typical bar with typical patrons drinking typical drinks as befitting their typical typicalness. Country rock is playing very loudly in the background. Mick, Kieran and Lisa take a quick glance around but there is no sign of Judith. She s not here. Well lets ask someone just in case she s been here. Fine. They walk toward the bar where the barkeeper is pouring out a drink to an already obviously inebriated client. The barkeeper notices them walking toward him. BARKEEP (shouting) Can I get you something? (shouting) Yeah we were wondering if you had seen a friend of ours. BARKEEP Depends. What does the friend look like. Well she s in her thirties, pretty and blond.

47. BARKEEP Nope sorry. I haven t seen anyone like that in here today. (beat) What are you guys up here on holiday or something. Yeah we re staying in our Camper Van just up the road from here. BARKEEP Sounds nice. So can I get you a drink? The three friends look at each other as if deciding what to do. Finally they give in and sit down on some bar stools. Three beers. Don t matter the make. The barkeep nods his head before getting them their drinks. BARKEEP So your friends gone missing has she? Not my friend. My wife. (beat) Yeah the last I saw of her was in bed last night. We had been in an argument about her going to that old farm house all by herself and I just figured that she must have gone off this morning to sort her self out. You know. But she s been gone too long now. BARKEEP Wait a minute. Farm house? There hasn t been any farm houses here for almost fifty years, abandoned or otherwise. The three friends look shocked by this news.

48. (shocked) Excuse me? But we ve seen one, we passed it on our way to our camp site. BARKEEP Sorry, I don t know what you saw but it wasn t a farm house. The last one to exist in our town burned to the ground half a century ago. That s impossible. BARKEEP Hey I m just telling it as it is. There s nothing left of it now except the original garden wall and gate. EXT. STREET - DAY KILLER P.O.V The door to the pub is shut. Moving closer we can see a small sign saying welcome INT. PUB, MAIN ROOM - DAY KILLER P.O.V The three friends are still at the bar. Lisa stands up and heads for a door marked LADIES INT. PUB, LADIES - DAY NORMAL P.O.V It is a small but surprisingly clean toilet for a pub. Also of note is the fact there is only one door in or out and no windows. All the stall doors are open revealing them all to be empty. KILLER P.O.V Lisa walks into the end stall and closes the door.

49. NORMAL P.O.V. INT. TOILET STALL Lisa is just about to lift the toilet lid when she hears a THUD like a door bolt sliding into place. She waits a few seconds, listening. Sighing in relief she once again moves to lift the toilet seat. There is a tap on her stall door. Another KNOCK Another KNOCK Occupied. Try one of the others. (Agitated) Look I said it s occupied. Lisa TEARS open the door (Shouting) Look I said fu... There is nobody there. EXT. TOILET STALL The stall door closes. A few moments pass then SCREAMS INT. PUB, MAIN ROOM - DAY Nobody in the main room has heard Lisa s scream, the loud music DROWNS it out. Suddenly an argument breaks out between two patrons. One of them is a young man wearing a cowboy hat, the other sporting a baseball cap.

50. Cowboy punches baseball and knocks him into a jukebox which is the source of the music. This causes the music to stop. In the silence Mick and Kieran hear SCREAM. Everybody stops and turns to face the LADIES Mick and Kieran run over to the door and attempt to open it. It s LOCKED After a few attempts Mick finally manages to open the door by hitting it hard with his SHOULDER. INT. PUB, LADIES - DAY The door burst open. Mick and Kieran stumble in. The barkeep and several patrons of the pub follow quickly behind them. The room is pure bedlam, looking like a small but intense and bloody war had taken place in there. Stall doors are ripped off their hinges, tiles lay smashed on the floor and several light fittings are now just bare wires, their once bright bulbs smashed on the floor. But what catches everybody s attention is the sheer volume of blood that coats the floor, walls and ceiling. That and the fact there is no sign of anybody. Lisa is GONE. EXT. STREET - DAY Mike and Kieran come BURSTING out of the PUB. (SCREAMING)! (beat)! Kieran turns to Mick.

51. (to Mick) We ve got to find her. First Jude and now... (shouting)! We will. I promise we ll find her. Come on we better go to the police station. Kieran is not listening to Mick. Christ did you see the blood? Why was there so much blood? I don t... Kieran runs off. He heads back toward the camp site. KILLER P.O.V. Mick runs after him. EXT. CAMP SITE - DAY NORMAL P.O.V. Kieran runs up to the Camper Van. He opens the door and runs inside. Moment later he comes back out again just as Mick enters the scene. (to Mick) She s not here. I never thought she would be. For fake sick how can you be so calm? Your wife and Lisa have both gone missing. (beat) We should never have came on this fucking trip.

52. Calm? Who said anything about being calm. I m crapping myself man. I just know panicking won t help. We need to get back to the police. Fine. Yeah I guess you re right. Something catches Kieran s eye. Lisa? Lisa is that you? Mick looks around but it is clear he can not see anything. KILLER P.O.V. Kieran is looking straight toward the camera. What are you on about Kieran? There s nobody there. Kieran turns his head to face Mick. I could have sworn! Kieran turns back to face the camera. NORMAL P.O.V. There it is again. Kieran runs away from the Camper Van into the woods. Mick just stands there. EXT. WOODS - DAY Kieran runs into the woods. We can just see the camp site clearing behind him. he runs like a man with a purpose. Lisa is that you?

53. TREE TOP KILLER P.O.V. Kieran runs by the trees. Following him from the tree tops Kieran runs deeper and deeper into the woods. He trips over a fallen branch but quickly picks himself up and resumes running. WOOD FLOOR NORMAL P.O.V. Mick has followed Kieran into the woods. He follows him as fast as he can Kieran stops for a breather. KILLER P.O.V (Shouting, O.S.) Kieran where are you? CUT TO: Kieran turns to his right where he thinks Mick s voice is coming from. NORMAL P.O.V (Shouting) I m just here. Up a... There is the distinctive sound of a BRANCH SNAPPING. Kieran TURNS just as Kieran is HOISTED into the air, but by what we cannot see. Mick is still running through the woods. Suddenly we hear SCREAM CUT TO:

54. Mick stops. He looks terrified. No ANSWER (Shouting)! WHERE ARE YOU? Mick starts to run again. He is now at the point Kieran disappeared. Too preoccupied to look where he is going properly, Mick slips on a rock and lands FACE FIRST on the floor. He slowly gets to his knees, his face covered in something dark and sticky. He wipes at his face with his hands and is shocked to discover that he is covered in BLOOD! He looks down at the floor. There is a huge puddle of BLOOD soaking into the ground. An object in the blood catches his attention. He looks closer. It is an EAR. What the fuck? He gets to his feet. He looks shit scared. A BRANCH SNAPS Mick turns in the sounds direction. KILLER P.O.V. Mick is looking straight at the camera. His expression is of SHEER TERROR. (Terrified) Oh my god...

55. CUT TO: KILLER P.O.V We follow at high speed as Mick runs as fast as he can through the woods. Several times he stumbles but he quickly steadies himself and carries on running. He turns his head to look over his shoulder. NORMAL P.O.V (Scared) Jesus Christ. (shouting) Somebody please! Mick sees an opening in the trees just ahead. As he runs closer he notices the roof of a house. Smoke rises from the chimney. he bursts out of the woods and runs as fast and as hard as he can toward the house. EXT. HOUSE - DAY. Mick bursts through the garden gate and runs up to the door. He POUNDS on the door with his FISTS. (shouting) Somebody please open the door. EXT. HOUSE, BACK GARDEN - DAY An elderly couple who both look to be in their mid seventies are sat on chairs in the back garden. They are relaxing and enjoying the sun. MAN Sheryl and the kids looked well. WOMAN Yes dear. Although I think Jason might be putting on weight.

56. The man laughs MAN It ll be all that junk food that Sheryl keeps feeding them. You should have taught your daughter better and healthier eating habits. WOMAN You re just as much to blame as I am. True MAN Suddenly there is the unmistakable sound of someone POUNDING furiously on a door. WOMAN I wonder who that could be. MAN Well it couldn t be them back. They left over an hour ago and will be well on their way home by now. The man stands up and heads for the open BACK DOOR. MAN Well I guess I better go have a look. He enters the house. The woman remains seated for a few moments before curiosity finally gets the better of her. She follows the man. EXT. WOODS - DAY KILLER P.O.V Moving at high speed we exit the woods. The sound of frantic pounding can be heard coming from the house just in front of us. We move swiftly along the garden wall and turn at the gate.

57. EXT. HOUSE - DAY KILLER P.O.V Mick has his back to us as he hammers on the door with his fists. (shouting) PLEASE. SOMEBODY OPEN THE DOOR! We move inhumanly fast now, straight toward He turns just as we CUT TO: EXT. HOUSE - DAY The front garden is empty as the MAN opens the door. He steps out into the front garden with the woman following close behind. MAN That s strange. I could have sworn... WOMAN I heard it as well. Just then the man notices the front GATE is WIDE OPEN. MAN I m sure I shout that before. He walks down the path and closes the gate. KIDS MAN KILLER P.O.V Watching from a distance away we see the man and the woman walk back into the house and close the door. We then move our gaze downwards. We see part of a figure lying on the floor, a leg. It is wearing the same color trousers as.

58. Suddenly it is pulled very fast out of our line of vision as we FADE IN: CUT TO BLACK: EXT. ROAD - DAY Two hikers in full hiking gear and carrying fully packed rucksacks are walking down the road that the four friends drove the CAMPER VAN down. They turn the corner and come face to face with EXT. FARM HOUSE - DAY The Farm House is stood there once again as large as life. It still looks run down and old. HIKER ONE That looks nice and homely. HIKER TWO Yeah if you happen to like killing animals and small children. (beat) Come on lets keep going. They are just walking past the front gate when something on the floor catches the second hikers eye. HIKER TWO Wait a second. HIKER ONE What is it? HIKER TWO I m not sure. Hiker Two bends over and picks up the object. It is covered in mud so we can t see what it is. He wipes the mud off on the side of his COAT and holds up up for both to see. It is the SMALL GOLD PENDANT that Judith had found earlier

59. HIKER TWO I suppose it could be worth something at a pawn shop. INT. FARM HOUSE, BEDROOM - SAME KILLER P.O.V Looking out of the window we can clearly see Hiker Two put something (the PENDANT) into his pocket. They then continue walking down the road and vanish around the corner. EXT. CAMP SITE - DAY NORMAL P.O.V The two hikers walk up to the Camper Van. HIKER ONE I wonder if anyone is home. HIKER TWO Well knock and find out. Hiker One walks up to the Camper Van and knocks on the door. KILLER P.O.V Watching from the woods. Hiker One walks away from the Camper Van shaking his head. HIKER ONE Nope doesn t look like anybody is here. HIKER TWO Well perhaps they walked over to that town we passed. HIKER ONE Yeah maybe. Hiker One turns so he is looking straight at us. HIKER ONE Wait a second.

60. What? HIKER TWO HIKER ONE I think I see some... We move at high speed straight toward the two hikers. Their expressions turn from calm to absolute HORROR They both open their mouths to scream just as we END CREDITS PLAY. SHOCK CUT TO BLACK:
